Hi everyone, long time no post, i picked up my RE C5 military UCE engine back in Oct'12 been running strong except for a few issues, about 1800 miles in i had a catastrophic muffler crack (see pictures shown)
from the bottom up
brought it back to the Phoenix RE dealer (Victory BMW, which i advise anyone in the area to not go to!) they replaced under warranty the muffler portion and told me i was good to go. I carried on riding fine until this morning 2700miles. where the same thing happened again, i called up the dealer again and they said that they would 'take a look at it' later in the week, essentially blowing me off, telling me that its okay to ride it like that, and it shouldnt be a issue.. well ITS A G-Damn ISSUE! I have been debating just going for a D&D exhaust as many have [it looks good and sounds nice!] I am hoping to just gather opinions on what may be the cause of this bizarre break/leak as i would hate to spend close to $400 on D&D only to have the same issue happen.
heres the new crack that i have this morning
and again from the underside
Any and all help, suggestions, comments. I know i have not been a super active member here, but its been going so smooth up until this point. Im just so fed up with the dealer not knowing squat about RE's Its like bringing a android phone to the iStore and asking for help, they are flat out clueless!
